Low Gluten Afternoon Tea menus
Although the recipes and goods used for this specific menu do not contain gluten, we do handle and bake with gluten onsite. While we avoid cross-contamination, the risk, however small, still exists.
We must therefore label this menu as Low Gluten.
Participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult throughout the event to ensure safety and support.
Arriving 10-15 minutes before the session allows for a smooth start and an introduction to materials.
While paint and pens are provided, wear clothes that can handle light spills or bring a protective apron.
Spaces fill up quickly — reserve your spot online or via phone to avoid disappointment.
Nottingham is renowned for its link to the Robin Hood legend and has a rich industrial heritage marked by its lace-making past.
Debbie Bryan’s workshops emphasize sustainable crafting with low-waste materials and encourage eco-friendly art practices.
Wear clothes that allow you to focus on art without worrying about minor paint spills.
An apron can help keep clothes clean but is optional as protective gear is provided.
Stay hydrated throughout the session, especially during longer workshops with afternoon tea.
Nottingham’s weather can be brisk; dress in layers to stay comfortable before and after workshops.
